But it's about time everyone, from individuals to corporations to politicians, focused on being more productive and competitive and less on what they think they need or are entitled to. That's the point. For some companies, the corporate jet is about productivity and saving money. It doesn't make sense to have expensive, busy executives sitting around in airports waiting on planes.

Not only did we have 20 straight years of profitability, but we're also looking to be profitable even during the upcoming recession And that's the rub......GM et al have not been nearly as profitable as consistently as INTC for the past 20 years. Is there a correlation between corporate jets and lack of profitability? Of course there is. The real tell in all of this is each company seems to have nearly the same number of jets per company. A pissing contest? I think so.
